I was insinuating that Andy retires.
The cowboy fan base has been hard on Garret for the past 3 years+ so yes if they miss the playoffs hes gone! That's why they fired Linihan(scapegoat)
Tomlin is pretty much gone dude where u been?
And the Redskins were about to fire Gruden this year one more ugly season heck if they miss the playoffs hes gone. Not attacking u but u obviously havent been paying attention to these teams.

Only a couple of those teams will you be right on. I agree wit @rossihunter2, if Tomlin wasn’t gone this season he won’t be gone. Remember Steelers don’t fire head coaches, they retire. They have only had 3 in over 50 yrs.

i dont feel attacked at all, but ive most definitely been paying attention to these teams and specifically how they've been run and how their seasons have gone...

  • No way Andy Reid retires after only year 3 of Pat Mahomes's career - he's just landed the motherlode at qb on a cheap contract and the offensive weapons to create one of the most unstoppable offences ever seen in football - no way he walks away from that after only 2 years of Mahomes starting even if they win back to back superbowls - and age isnt an issue he's younger than pete carroll, bill belichick, bruce arians, mike zimmer at least
  • Garrett is and has been Jerry's boy since forever and has borne far more criticism before from cowboys fans in far worse seasons - yet a playoff win and suddenly he's on the hot seat? That makes no sense to me when he has maybe the best relationship with an owner that any coach in the league has...
  • Tomlin is not nearly gone - he survived the most tumultuous season ive seen a head coach have with a locker room falling apart around him, the loss of control of that locker room dynamic as well as specific players deciding not to play for his team and add to that his team missing the playoffs basically because of a loss to the raiders - there's absolutely no way that if he survives the end of this year which he has done that he wont survive the next season given the way the steelers go about coaching changes (i.e. they dont)
  • I've seen absolutely no reports that Gruden is under fire right now - in fact the alex smith injury basically guarantees he's around until the next CBA because of that smith contract they are hamstrung by the injury guarantees in his contract so trying to rebuild and start again is counter-productive - add to that the fact that even with alex smith playing poorly the redskins were running away with the NFC East and looked strong enough to compete even with Colt Mccoy at qb until he also got on I/R
so respectfully id be very surprised to see 8 HC openings next year as you're suggesting

some of the above may turn out and maybe there's another 1 and done HC like steve wilks (although there's no obvious candidate for that so far) and maybe someone like matt patricia doesnt get a 3rd year - but even then i dont see how you get to 8 HC vacancies next offseason

I agree with everything you’ve said except Jay Gruden. They came damn close to firing him this offseason and depending on how they do next season I see him gone. I’m aware of that contract as I posted the report, but it’s quite possible they draft a top qb in 2020 and I don’t believe Allen or Gruden will be there then.

Maybe - I just think that if they’re firing him next year for a rebuild then they’d basically be deciding to fire him now which would make him a lame duck and I don’t see why he would stay under those conditions

They are giving him another chance due to all the injuries this year. If they have another bad year, injuries or not, they will move on.

Fair enough - I’m not sure I see it that way but we’ll see what happens

We obviously see things a bit differently with this one. Let’s put it this way, it took them a while to confirm he would be coming back this year.

Harbaugh extension is for 4 yrs through 2022 (fixed it)

That being said, it wouldn’t be a problem if we wanted to fire him, because we could just trade him and his contract.

Why are people celerbrating this? He's a cheerleader ala Jason Garrett. Tony Romo has shown more football knowledge and awareness in the space of 1 year on TV than i've heard from harbaugh in 10 years plus

You can’t compare being an announcer to a head coach. Lol

Harbaugh was basically a comedy war chaplin with Ed and Ray being the actual coaches(when we were actually good).
